Nnabueze C.

Pleasure to meet you! I’m Nnabueze, a UX designer with a multidisciplinary background in business, cybersecurity, marketing, finance, and music. I bring a human-first mindset and the strategic lens of a product thinker, shaped by years of cross-industry experience. My work focuses on designing solutions that are both emotionally intelligent and accessible. Through prior roles in sales and admin, I gained a deep understanding of user behavior, needs, and frustration points — and I now channel that insight into purposeful UX work. Currently, I’m designing Mindful, a responsive wellness app that supports employees navigating high-stress environments. This solo UX case study is part of my mission to use design as a tool for healing and innovation in the health tech space. Core strengths: Research synthesis • Wireframing & prototyping (Figma, Adobe XD, Sketch) • Accessibility • Interaction Design • HTML/CSS/JS fundamentals • Systems thinking. I’m excited to connect with mission-driven teams who value empathy, clarity, and impact. Portfolio available here → https://www.nchukunta.design/

UX Case Study: Foodie App

I recently worked on "Foodie," a personalized recipe and nutrition app, where I served as the lead UX designer. My role involved conducting user research, creating wireframes, and developing interactive prototypes. I focused on enhancing user engagement by implementing a personalized meal recommendation system based on dietary preferences and restrictions. The final design significantly improved user satisfaction, leading to a 30% increase in daily active users within the first month of launch. This project reinforced my commitment to creating accessible and user-centered solutions that cater to individual needs.See More
